Date of update: 02/18/2008
The most significant activity to report since our last update is our winter vacation trip to Florida. Rather than go on a length about it here, we have prepared a separate page to tell you all about it.
The picture to the left shows a view of the grounds of the Topsider time-share resort where we were staying.
